Default Resizing stock rods, over size bearing?

I am having my rods resized meaning they are going to drill the hole out bigger, Where on earth can i get an LS1 rod bearing that is for a standard sized crank, but oversized actual rod.

Nearly all the bearing manufacturers make a bearing for this application. The ones I use frequently on the re-sized stock rods are from Clevite.

The part # is CB1776A. According the catalog I have, they are not available in a STD bearing (older Clevite catalog). The ones I have always used were +.010".

You are wasting your time and money...good stock rods are easy to come by, why kludge up your engine when you can keep it stock for less effort and money?

The LS1 uses the same rod bearings as a stock 350. I just finished a total rebuild.

the reason i am haveing them resized is because i am going to ARP bolts... and i have been hearing alot of people have to have them resized. I have 16 stock sized rods. Hopefully i can get 8 that i will not have to have resized, if thats the case i'll just buy standard bearings, and call it a day.
